The last two years have been an extraordinary period in global banking. While ANZ has experienced the most significant challenges in a generation, I am pleased to report to you that we have not only weathered the financial crisis and the economic downturn, but that ANZ is one of the few banks in the world to have come out of the financial crisis stronger than we went in.
Having a consistent, clearly articulated objective to build ANZ into a super regional bank and a stronger foundation within our business is now allowing us to take advantage of Australia’s geographic, business and cultural linkages with the fastest growing region in the world Asia Pacific.
What’s most encouraging about our Interim result is the momentum in our underlying financial performance. We are seeing the benefits from difficult decisions that we’ve made to build a more sustainable business and the opportunities that we have taken to grow.
We have achieved this while still supporting our customers, keeping our people engaged and passionate about our vision, and contributing to the community.
Together, our franchise, our clear strategy and the actions taken to change ANZ, have uniquely positioned us to ride the wave of growth in the region and create value for our shareholders.

CHaIRMaN’S NOTE JOHN MORSCHElEnclosed with this edition of Shareholder Contact is the advice of your 2010 Interim Dividend of 52 cents per share fully franked, up 6 cents or 13% on the 2009 Interim Dividend.
A more positive credit environment particularly in Australia and in Asia saw provisions for credit costs reduce 34%, on the preceding half with underlying earnings per share for the half year up 15%.
Net profit after tax of $1,925 million for the half year ended 31 March 2010 was up 26% on the preceding half and 36% compared to the same half last year.
Across the Group, revenue and profit increased. Australia performed well with profit up 11% (excluding acquisitions) with positive contributions from Institutional, Commercial and Wealth.
New Zealand’s performance improved significantly, although off a low base, as the economy showed some signs of recovery.
In Asia Pacific we’ve been growing at the same time as completing the complex integration of the businesses we acquired from The Royal Bank of Scotland. Profits were up 19% in US dollar terms on the preceding half.
Finally, in global Institutional Division profit after tax grew 19% highlighting the genuine progress that has been made in turning around this business based on a clear strategy aligned to ANZ’s super regional objective.
The global financial climate continues to be volatile, however our strong base in Australia, New Zealand and increasingly in Asia positions ANZ well.
